    Check out worldofballpythons.com/morphs/ and see what really speaks to you. The list is OVERWHELMING, so start out with some of the basic morphs, and then branch out to multi-gene morphs. As a very *general* rule, single genes cost less than multiple genes, HOWEVER the newer or more uncommon a morph is, the more expensive it will be regardless of number of genes, and in general recessive genes seem to cost more than dominant or co-dominant genes. If you aren't already familiar with different morphs, here's a few bases you can start out looking at to get some ideas (keeping in mind some either look the same or are almost the same thing):
    mojave
    pastel (different lines)
    cinnamon
    black pastel
    butter
    lesser
    pied
    albino
    axanthic
    enchi
    fire
    vanilla
    hypo/ghost (different lines)
    yellowbelly
    pinstripe
    spider
    het red axanthic

    A few double-gene morphs to look at (some of these might have names I can't remember):
    blue-eyed lucy (super mojave, super butter/lesser, mojave+lesser/butter)
    pewter (pastel+cinnamon)
    black pewter (black pastel+cinnamon)
    yellowbelly+pastel
    pastave (pastel+mojave)
    savannah mojave (cinnamon+mojave)
    bumble bee (pastel+spider)
    cinnabee (cinnamon+spider)
    spinner (pinstripe+spider)
    lemon blast (pastel+pinstripe)

    Keep in mind there are a LOT more varieties out there, this is a very very small list to start with.
    Why keep a snake? Why keep any animal? Because you enjoy the animal, find something beautiful and fascinating about it, and it fits seamlessly into your lifestyle.
